New to the site and glad to be talking boats again. My wife and I cruised and lived aboard our westsail 32 for for years before buying a house, starting a business, and having a little girl. Now that she's about 3 and we have more time, we are working on getting back on the boat 1/2 time (spring/fall). Both me and my wife have spent more time on the water than land so the steady work/ house thing is still tough to get used to.

Part of the reason to investigate the site further is to find other cruising kids for Jessie (daughter). The other part of the equation is that I find I need to take more breaks from boat work than I used to and this is a great motivator to get back at it.
